Alicia,

I mentioned this to you a couple of weeks ago.  Would you be
interested in showing off the help desk to incoming students?

I'm coordinating the SIPB Computer Tour this year, and I'm writing to
you to see if you'd be interested in giving a demo of anything your
group has been working on (or, if you can't, finding out if you can
recommend someone in your group who might be able to).

The tour is aimed at new MIT students, to give them an inside look at
the interesting uses of computers in various labs and groups around
campus. It's a good opportunity both for students to learn about what
sort of research is going on around campus, as well as for research
groups to attract potential UROPs.

The date we've scheduled for this year's tour is Thursday, September 4th,
which is during the first week of classes. The tours run from about 7
pm to 10 pm.  Typically, we get enough people that we need to split
the tour into about three groups, so there would be three demos over
that time period. The demos are typically 10-15 minutes
long. Afterward, we usually have food and a guest speaker, which you
are invited to join us for, if you wish.

If you are able and willing to give a demo, please let me know the
largest and ideal group size for you, as well as the minimum and ideal
amount of time you'd like to give them demo. If you can't, but you know
someone else in your group who might be able to, would you please forward
this to them?

Thanks,

Darrin Jewell <jewell@mit.edu>
